ASX Announcement

3 April 2023

Wingara appoints Marcello Diamante as CEO & Managing Director

  • Marcello has shown strong leadership and industry knowledge in driving the transformation of Wingara over the past 12 months

  • He is best placed to rebuild Wingara, simplify its structure to improve profitability and deliver on its future potential

Wingara AG Limited ( ASX: WNR , “Wingara” or “the Company”), owner and operator of value-add, mid-stream asset specialising in the processing, storage and marketing of agricultural produce for export markets, is pleased to announce the permanent appointment of Marcello Diamante as CEO and Managing Director, effective 3 April 2023. Marcello was originally appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 1 April 2022 and has been Interim CEO since 11 November 2022.

Commenting on the appointment of Mr Diamante as CEO and Managing Director, Wingara Chair David Christie said: “The past 12 months has been transformative for Wingara as we have exited the Austco Polar business and rationalised our Hay Processing assets to position Wingara for future sustainable growth. Marcello Diamante has provided strong leadership, passion and industry knowledge during his time as Director and Interim CEO over this period. On completion of the sale of the Raywood site Wingara AG will be a much simpler business that will require a leader who is knowledgeable in rebuilding a Hay Export business and execute a new growth strategy for Wingara. The Board believes Mr Diamante has proven he is capable to lead Wingara during his time as Interim CEO and his permanent appointment will ensure the Company completes the restructure and implements its growth strategy.”

Commenting on his appointment as CEO and Managing Director, Mr Diamante said: “I am excited to be given the opportunity to rebuild Wingara, simplify its structure to improve profitability and deliver on its future potential. My previous experience operating JC Tanloden puts me in a great position to complete the current restructure before the next hay season as well as work collaboratively with the Board to develop a new growth strategy to deliver long term shareholder value.”

Key terms of Mr Diamante’s employment as CEO and Managing Director of Wingara are outlined in the attached schedule.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors of Wingara AG Limited.
